How about starting a Aaron Nesmith for Team USA thread? Hehe

Nomad · 07-11-2024, 12:18 AM

Dude, I think USA will be just fine. Ant for one. Haliburton had some pretty clean passes. Steph finally hit a shot in the early minutes, after his team missed like 10 straight.

That said, Nembhardt had Canada passing around like prime Pacers for a second. And Dylan Brooks was fire for about two quarters.

They really screwed Canada with the Pool of Greece Spain and Australia. US gets Serbia and 2 bum squads.

So it sounds like Kawhi just had hurt feelings that he'd be behind Bron, KD and Tatum in the pecking order.

Nomad · 07-11-2024, 09:49 AM

Sounds like his knee inflammation got worse. Surprised to see Embid on the court actually. Interesting to see Brown declare his displeasure at teammate's selection: "this what we doing?"

I feel more like Spain was the one that got screwed.

Did Canada even qualify last Olympics? They'd come in pretty lowly ranked.

Tough group for sure though.

Pool of Death!

Puerto Rico is sneaky good. They could give US some issues.

They earned their spot, they beat Italy and Lithuania to qualify.

Stephon Castle gonna surprise a lot of people this season (being teammates with Wemby helps).

ninjacookies · 07-12-2024, 10:01 PM

Reesashay n' Thon Jr. really showin out tonight.

At least Sarr's showing a glimpse of the anticipated defensive upside and offensive versatility.

Hawnks gonna regert. No debating.

Scoring (esp. on uncontested drives) is one of the most overrated aspects of the modern NBA.

Respect though. Probably the only highlight of an otherwise 48 minute waterboarding simulation.

I think you might be watching the 2k25 trailer

You do see why it's "uncontested" right? Cha boy playing James Harden defense in the summer league, sheesh

Nice try, player.

You attempted the same game with Luther Vandross getting blown by on a c2c in which...he was not even a primary defender. @factchecknet is a helluva drug.

I'll still give NoRizzashay his due. He can put the ball in the cylinder. Still don't think it moves the needle much when you've already dealt a 22/5/6 guy.

daeve · 07-12-2024, 10:27 PM

Here's a running left hook bank over Sarr and then a corner 3 off a bad pass with Sarr closing in

Rizzler doesn't look worried and neither am I. Hawks made the right pick for once.

ninjacookies · 07-12-2024, 10:32 PM

Meh.

5 stocks > all of that.

Defense nguyens 'ships. Buckets win....Atlanta early round exits.

I will die on this molehill.

Going to be interesting if Denver can right the ship this season. Last postseason felt a bit fluky. But their depth has definitely taken a hit.

jcardstore · 07-14-2024, 06:21 PM

Reed Sheppard made Jalen Green irrelevant in 1 1/2 summer league games.

jcardstore · 07-14-2024, 06:25 PM

To be fair, Jalen Green was already irrelevant but Reed Sheppard looks pretty good so far
